This is one of the most awesome sly digs I've seen for a long time. Kudos to you, Sir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKTexans Posted August 4, 2017 Author Share Posted August 4, 2017 Horrible draws for both Celtic and Liverpool. Astana are just about to complete their season as Champions (they play through the spring/summer in Kazakhstan) so will be fully up to speed. Hoffenheim were 2 points away from automatic qualification to the Champions League last season and took 4 points off Bayern Munich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kempus Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Celtic will probably lose that. Liverpools draw is very tough, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKTexans Posted August 4, 2017 Author Share Posted August 4, 2017 (edited) It's also worth noting Astana just knocked out Legia Warsaw, a side whom if it wasn't for a 2 minute cameo from an ineligible player a couple of years ago, would have taken Celtic's place in that's years CL after thrashing them 6-1 on aggregate.

AustrianNiner Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Hoffenheim lost two important players in Süle and Rudy, but Nagelsmann is a genius. Their style could suit as though and I'm not sure they'll be able to cope with the pace of Mane and Salah. Will certainly be two entertaining matches, still have to get through though.

Definitely will be a difficult test for Liverpool. They will need to be at their best to advance and hopefully they won't still be finding their feet early in the season or they could easily crash out.

UKTexans Posted August 15, 2017 Author Share Posted August 15, 2017 Huge night tonight for Liverpool. Watford exposed them badly at the weekend and they are still without Coutinho. I spoke to a colleague today and apparently Hoffenheim scored the most goals from set plays in the Bundesliga last year, which spells disaster for Liverpool who look like conceding from every dead ball situation. An away goal would be priceless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah... If that is true that's not a great thing for Liverpool. Conceding from set pieces so consistently is one of the most frustrating things for me to watch, it's unacceptable that can't be fixed.

SalvadorsDeli Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Nightmare start for Lovren. Should have conceded a penalty on a bad handball, gets away with it, then almost immediately gives away a penalty on a dumb foul. And then Mignolet bails him out... awful awful penalty from Kramaric.

Kip Smithers Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Hoffenheim play some great football. So composed and comfortable on the ball and excellent rotation moving without the ball. Just shows that English football is so lagging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never a pen that. Trent Alexander-Arnold is the man. What a guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
